To the intolerant and bloody-minded Prague actor Bergner (Milos Kopecký) is the lead in Moliere's Misanthrope which he is studying now as tailor-made. On top of that he is malicious and he advises to the new actress Helenka (Dagmar Havlová) in such a way that she upsets the theatre director. If Bergner accuses somebody of a mischief and he is wrong, he never apologizes. When he almost crashes an older elegant lady by his car on the zebra crossing, instead of an apology he calls her an old ballet dancer... But in Brno's TV he takes part in a discussion on manners and he gives himself as an example of good manners and grace. In the train he meets a magic old man (Ladislav Pesek) who warns him and admonishes him to change his behavior. After he arrives to Prague the old man's threat comes true.

6.0

One of the moralities of the trio of authors Milos Macourek, Adolf Born and Jaroslav Doubrava. It deals with the topic of implacability of human optimism and fantasy. In a sad manner it tells us a humorous story of a man living double life: one of a beaten little clerk, humiliated by his arrogant boss, imperious wife and misbehaved descendant; the other of a spoiled hero of a dream empire full of beautiful and tender women, flowers and fantastic figures. From artistic point of view is the film based on Adolf Born's lithographs.

The pupils of III. B. Mach and Šebestová and their faithful dog Jonatán experienced their funny and instructive adventures back in 1976 in the film About the Broken Earphone. This magic earphone can make any wish come true. The feature film was created from thirteen short films of the television series connected by short interludes. The schoolchildren always use the magic earphone only for a good cause, so even if they sometimes mess something up, in the end everything turns out as it should in a fairy tale. The last newly filmed part is about their children Mach and Machová, who, with the help of the earphone, help the eternal repeaters Horáček and Pažout.
